Senior journalist Urmilesh analyses the relation between rise of militancy in Kashmir and Article 370.
Earlier, it used to be claimed that Pakistan is the sole reason behind violence and militancy in Kashmir. Now, it is being said that Article 370 was responsible for the killings of 40,000 people in the valley in the last three decades.

However, is that the reality? Senior journalist Urmilesh analyses the relation between rise of militancy in Kashmir and Article 370.
